Okay, back in Bangkok now, where it all began (erm, excluding the 3-days in Singapore). I was feeling all nostalgic and sentimental and stuff, and we've just moved to a guesthouse (the bedbugs, constant smell of diesel and soaring temperature put us off the last place) next door to the last guesthouse I stayed in with Matt way back in March 2006. There I was, feeling all emotional about our last few days, remembering Matt's famous "I'm going to the room coz I feel ill" and ending up in hospital story, when Kaori pipes up and says "I'm going to the room coz I feel ill". Coincidence? Who knows. All I know is if I go back to the room and Kaori's ended up in hospital nobody is ever going to travel with me again.

Okay, not much more to report & I really should check on Kaori. Here's some photo's of the Laos tubing and happy shaking...
